💡By default, all microphones are disabled while a video is being played in the room. This is to prevent echoes caused by participants’ speakers being streamed back into the room. Microphones are re-enabled automatically when the video is paused or stopped.
The microphone settings may be configured both through the room settings menu or at the company level by Kaltura’s backend.
💡The file you launch, whether a video, PowerPoint presentation or any other file, will be viewed by everyone simultaneously in the live session.
